Risotto is a dish that is sure to impress. It’s one of Italy’s quintessential dishes, made from short grain rice, savory broth, and nutty Parmesan cheese. While restaurants would love to keep you under their spell with their risottos, this dish is actually very simple (and much more affordable) to make at home. Risotto’s luxuriously creamy consistency comes from the technique of slowly adding broth and coaxing the starches from the rice, and not from the addition of heavy cream. If you’ve always wanted to make risotto at home, we have the only recipe you’ll ever need.
